Summary Paccar IS Recalling Certain Model Year 2007-2008 Kenworth and Peterbilt Vehicles Manufactured From February 2, 2006 Through April 30, 2007. THE Bearing Surfaces OF THE Extended Lube Universal Joint That Attaches THE Inter-Axle Driveline TO THE Drive Axle MAY Become Prematurely Worn DUE TO Breakdown OF Lubrication And/Or Excessive Heat. Prematurely Worn Bearing Surfaces MAY Result IN THE U-joint Becoming Loose And/Or Binding. This Condition MAY Result IN Universal Joint Failure, Allowing THE Inter-axle Driveline TO Detach From THE Axle.
Consequence Detachment OF THE Driveline From THE Axle MAY Cause THE Vehicle TO Lose Power and Become Disabled IN THE Roadway. Also, THE Driveline Could Drop From THE Vehicle Into THE Roadway Increasing THE Risk OF A Crash.
Remedy Paccar IS Working With ITS Supplier TO Remedy THE Vehicles Free OF Charge. THE Safety Recall IS Expected TO Begin During February 2011. Owners MAY Contact Kenworth AT 425-828-5440 and Peterbilt AT 940-591-4196.

Summary Paccar IS Recalling Certain Model Year 2008-2010 Trucks Equipped With TRW Steering Shafts. THE Circumferential Weld Around THE Steering Shaft Tube That Welds THE Splined Tube TO THE Non-Splined Tube MAY BE Mislocated. Mislocation OF THE Circumferential Weld MAY Allow THE Splined Tube and Non-splined Tube TO Rotate Relative TO ONE Another During A Low Speed, High Torque Turn, Possibly Resulting IN A Separation OF THE Two Tubes.
Consequence A Separation OF THE Splined and Non-Splined Tubes Would Cause A Loss OF Steering Control and Increase THE Risk OF A Vehicle Crash.
Remedy Dealers Will Inspect THE Steering Shaft Using A Weld Placement Gauge Provided BY Trw. ANY Steering Shaft Found TO Have Been Welded Improperly Will BE Replaced Free OF Charge. THE Safety Recall Began ON July 30, 2010. Owners MAY Contact Kenworth AT 425-828-5440 and Peterbilt AT 940-591-4196.

Summary Paccar IS Recalling 1,043 MY 2008-2009 Kenworth C500, T2000,t660, T800 and W900 Trucks Equipped With Bendix Mv-3 Dash Control Valves. THE Molded Valve Body HAS AN Incorrect Core PIN IN THE Injection Mold Causing THE Valve Body TO BE Oversized IN THE Double Check Valve Area. This Condition CAN Allow THE Rubber Double Check Valve TO Become Lodged IN THE Body Opening Under Certain Circumstances.
Consequence IF THE Double Check Valve Becomes Lodged, IN THE Event OF A Primary Reservoir Failure, AIR Pressure CAN Leak Past THE Lodged Double Check Valve Thereby Depleting THE Secondary Reservoir, Causing Reduced Ability FOR Modulating THE Service Emergency Brakes. IN Such AN Event, THE Operator Should Observe AN AIR Leak, Indications OF Low AIR Pressure VIA THE Primary and Secondary AIR Gauges, and Audible and Visual Low AIR Pressure Warning Alarms. A Vehicle Crash IS Possible IF These Warnings ARE NOT Heeded.
Remedy Dealers Will Replace THE Bendix Mv-3 Dash Control Valves Free OF Charge. THE Recall Began ON April 14, 2008. Owners MAY Contact Kenworth AT 1-425-828-4196.

THE Pintle Hitch Assemblies MAY Have Been Manufactured IN A Manner Resulting IN A Reduction OF Fatigue Strength OF THE Pivot Pins.
Consequence This Reduction OF Fatigue Strength Could Cause THE Pivot PIN TO Crack and Eventually Break, Causing THE Trailer TO Detach From THE Truck While IN Motion, Which Could Cause A Crash That Could Result IN Personal Injury or Death.
Remedy Dealers Will Replace THE Potentially Defective Pivot PIN Free OF Charge. THE Recall Began ON April 18, 2008. Owners MAY Contact Kenworth AT 1-425-828-5440 or Peterbilt AT 1-940-591-4196.
